Hexagon, could you please share the step-by-step instructions to turn off/on data ? It'd be extremely useful to a lot of us. Thanks!
If you download the application, open it up and you'll see a normal looking app, kind of like mail. On the side bar select configuration profiles, and then click New. A new entry will pop up on the right hand side. The first tab that is open, is General. You can fill in some info there if you like, but only a unique identifier is required. What you want, is APN. Click APN (Access Point Name). You can see a screenshot
here (thanks for the link MightyTrini). Your network provider tells the phone what the correct settings are when you connect to the network. So all you need to do is change the APN to anything. This way the network wont put it's own information in. So I just put a space. And to be safe I put a character in the name and password fields as well.
Then you need to share it with the share button. It will open an email up with the file attached. Email it to an account that you have on your phone. In the email touch the attachment. It will install. Then, if you want to uninstall it, goto the General Settings tab, there you can delete it. I used to keep the email with the configuration profile in an easy to access place, because when you disable the profile, it deletes it, and you have to install it from an email again.
I've attached a profile to this post. You can try it out if you like. I use it for some clients. All it does is change the APN name to '.' and the both the login and password to '.' It does not change any other settings.
Cheers!
